Introduction to ArcGIS Online

ArcGIS Online is a cloud-based mapping platform. Users get access to dynamic, authoritative content to create, collaborate, catalog, and share maps, data, and applications with each other, the entire organization, or the public. Through ArcGIS Online, organizations gain access to the Esri cloud.

Explore and visualize 2D and 3D data. Share your maps with anyone, anywhere or keep them private. Work collaboratively with fellow scholars to build maps and apps. Access analysis tools that help you better understand your data. Build stories around your data, maps, pictures and other media. Browser-based, no platform issues.

Data Collection

Maps can be used for visualization or to share data and collaborate, but we often use them to present the results of a GIS analysis.

StoryMaps are a great way to present your GIS project

We can't discuss the current ArcGIS StoryMaps without giving a nod to the "classic" Story Maps. Still available, these application templates will eventually be deprecated.
